I actually liked this episode mainly because of the quizzes. As of today, I would still get some questions wrong (especially the spinning line of Poliwhirl). It was interesting to see Team Rocket use Ash's Pokémon so I out it as a step above a regular Team Rocket battle.

I really liked this episode. The quizzes were amazing, especially with their difficulty. Like the Poliwhirl lines and the Jigglypuff from above. It was also nice to see Ash failing and when they showed the screen, I laughed at Jessie. She got so angry she just left lol. At the same time I think the idea of the quiz was a bit flawed. Doing well in some test shouldn't be equivalent to travelling around the region and battling 8 Gym Leaders.

This episode was so funny!
- Jessie snapping at the teacher and leaving.
- Ash doing a bad job during the test.
- Ash performing bad using Team Rocket Pokemon (he should've known their moves).
- Meowth with the wool.

However, such a test should not be equal to getting eight badges, just like passing the Pokemon Tech in "School of Hard Knocks".

Nice to see another episode with Todd. I don't mind him to be honest. LOL @ Ash being boastful about his picture being in one of the highest after the exam. Then Misty points at the obscure fail board with him & TR on it, so embarrassing and hilarious. Jessie snapping at the teacher and leaving was very funny. Also seeing Misty and Todd's face when Brock was cheering on Nurse Joy was great too.

The Todd arc can be characterized by being a very good filler arc just before the seventh gym battle. I loved this episode because of the comedy mixed in with the variety of the quiz and the irony of Ash having to battle with Pokémons that Team Rocket around that time had under their disposal.

I was funny to see Misty acknowledge that Ash got most of his badges from Gym Leaders who felt sorry for him. xD I did like when Ash used Arbok, Weezing, and Meowth. But, it was hilarious to see Jessie and James actually taking notes from his battling.

I really enjoyed this episode; seeing Ash and even Team Rocket taking the exam was fun, especially given how low Ash ranked during the quiz part. I also liked seeing Ash command an Arbok, Weezing and Meowth during the battle portion; it was a nice change of pace from seeing him use the same 4/5 Pokemon constantly.

Omg, the quiz episode! I liked the test for admittance to the Pokemon League and I liked seeing Ash and James use Pokemon they weren't used to. I loved James reaction to when he got a Pikachu and gave it commands that was probably the best part lol.

The fact that trainers could take an exam for a Gym Badge was interesting, and I liked how Musashi and Kojirou took the exam as well. It wasn't surprising that they and Satoshi received bottom marks, though. I liked the practical exam section the most because Kojirou got to use Pikachu, Fushigisou, and Lizardon.

The test questions had nothing to do with battling as far I as I could tell, but this was one of those episodes that had as much comedy crammed into it as possible. I personally thought it was great. The test was ridiculous and it was hilarious seeing Ash, Jessie, and James trying to figure out what the stuff on the screen was. As for the battle portion, it seemed Ash and James really got screwed in terms of choices.

I wouldn't have minded if Joy aced the test cuz if you think about it, as a nurse she had to have been extremely knowledgeable regarding pokemon facts hee hee. Her winning would've made sense, tho I wish Misty and Brock had done the test too.
